All in GotY 2019
An adventure with cosmic stakes, Outer Wilds is genuinely one of the best games I’ve ever played and something that will stick with me forever.
The classic RPG is alive and well in this introspective detective mystery, where the party is all in your head.
Perhaps the most confident game in 2019, CONTROL is a profoundly stellar, gleefully weird experience.
The most realized and streamlined take on the Souls-like formula, Sekiro is an impeccable clash of legacies and brave steps forward.
Luck is against you in this dice-rolling roguelike that’s as wonderfully charming as it is fun to play.
Rhythmic action, an interactive album, REZ with motorcycle gangs; however you slice it, Sayonara Wild Hearts is a singular, gratifying experience about love and rebirth.
Satisfying ranged combat, some ingenious art design, and a friendlier take on the Souls formula lets Remnant: From the Ashes carve its own path.
A peculiar blend of combat and puzzling, this solitaire RPG builds upon itself time and time again to weave a devious delve.
